So you're saying by definition if your Abrahamic religion does not include a messiah who was god in the flesh, literally god on earth, then you don't get to call your religion true? So it's this extra fleshy god on earth that makes Christianity true? Do I have that right? And I'm guessing then that Jesus himself, who was a Jew, at some point disowned Judaism?

I am not going to get into an argument of what religion is true or not. I will however break this down to a very basic level.

If you, the individual, do not believe that your current religious affiliation is with the "true religion", then you, the individual need to re-evaluate your beliefs.

In our universe there are no half-truths. We live in a universe of duality. Good-bad, right-wrong, up quark-down quark, truth-non-truth.

Whether you believe in God or not, religion or not, you have to be able to see that their can only be one true religion.

Now the tricky part is actually tolerance. You don't have to be accepting of someone else's belief in their particular religion as that by definition would be hypocritical. You do have to be tolerant.

However, since the world today does not know the difference between acceptance and tolerance, we have issues.

So in short, no. The religions of the world do not worship the same God. If they did, all the beliefs and practices would be the same.

Actually well said Goose.

"Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

So it's inconceivable that God could give various people various religious systems, any number of which could be acceptable to Him?

It's also possible that every religious system without exception was pulled out of some forgotten guy's ass at some point in history, with then a collection of other guys snowballing the initial speck into the big ass ball of crap some of those religious system have become.

Wow, that is some of the worst reasoning, if you can call it that, I think I've ever read. But at least you somehow arrived at one correct conclusion. Tolerance is important. Sounds like that Liberal Media is finally doing some good.
